In this week's episode, we dive into the Beetlejuice franchise and explore the different iterations of the iconic character. We start by discussing the classic 1988 movie and its lasting impact on pop culture. From there, we move on to the animated TV series, which aired from 1989 to 1991 and brought Beetlejuice to a new generation of fans. Finally, we touch on the recently-closed Broadway production and examine how it adapted the story and characters for the stage. And of course, we have some fandom news and some housekeeping, and we share your feedback. Finally, Rachel shares her experience at the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention, including participating in the cosplay contest and talking D&D with Steve from Blue's Clues.  TIME STAMPS 00:00:31 Intro 00:01:59 News 00:17:39 Rachel's recap of Lexington Comic & Toy Convention 01:02:21 Feedback 01:10:30 Beetlejuice 01:56:50 Closing Thoughts 01:59:10 Outro Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

  Back in March we visited the 2019 Lexington Comic & Toy Convention at Lexington Convention Center. Our mission was twofold. We wanted to talk to the artists in our Kentucky Crafted program who also exhibit at the convention and find out why it makes sense from an artistic and business perspective to have a presence at Comic Con. We also chatted with a handful of costume players, or cosplayers as they are commonly known - folks who create a costume based around their favorite character and/or comic book universe or sci-fi genre. Many cosplayers create their costumes from the ground up, and we wanted to explore what kind of artistry they bring to their creations. As you're listening, peruse the photos below that we got of some cosplayers during our visit to Comic Con. We've also included links to extended interviews with the folks we talked to.
